Does Lecce require rental car insurance?

When cruising through Lecce or the rest of Italy, you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier requires that you show proof of insurance before you rent a car.

Policy Description

Advantages

Disadvantages

Full to Full

You'll have a full tank when you collect your vehicle. You can use as much fuel as you wish and top it off when you return your car at the end of your rental period. As long as you replace the fuel before returning the car, you won't face any extra fees

You only pay for the fuel you use. If you only use half of a tank, you'll only need to refill half of a tank, and therefore avoid paying for any you don't need. You can fill up at any station you want and you'll only be charged refueling fees if you don't refill the tank

Full to empty (pre-paid)

You'll receive the car with a full tank of gas and return the car with an empty tank. Check with the supplier to see if they will refund you for any unused fuel

There will be no need to go searching for a gas station before you bring back the car

You might pay a higher rate for the tank than you would filling up at a local gas station

Empty to empty

You will not have a full tank of fuel when you pick up your vehicle, and you don't need to fill the tank back up before you drop it back off

You refill your tank yourself, so you can shop around for the cheapest local prices

You'll need to find a gas station shortly after you get the car

What fuel policy should I get?

We usually advise that you choose the full-to-full policy. This policy is the most straightforward, and you simply top off the tank before you bring it back.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited miles is a good choice if you plan to do some sightseeing or visit several customers all over Lecce. You can cruise wherever you want without incurring additional charges. Be sure to read your policy to find out if there are any limitations.

Before you leave the lot

Before you get going on your Lecce vacation, check out a few items prior to leaving the rental lot. It's worth the time to:

Walk around the car and be certain there is no damage or scrapes. If you notice any, mark it down on the paperwork

Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there

Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers

Get comfortable working the radio or entertainment features. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are navigating a new city
